I'm the original poster on this thread. The links I had in the first post have changed, but for some reason, I cannot edit them. Anyway, here is the updated link to the videos without the red filter (in my post #1 above):

Youtube videos (select the ones from Sipadan) - no red filter

On my last dive trip, I started using the Red Filter setting on the camera. I also purchased the Auto Magic Filter. Here are the results:

2010 Feb Similan videos - using red filter

Note: On 13 Feb, I used the red filter software on the camera. On 14 Feb, halfway through the day, I switched from the software camera setting to the Auto Magic Filter. O 15 Feb I used the Auto Magic Filter inside the housing. And on 15 Feb, dive 4 was at 5:00pm so that is what accounts for the darker video.

I'm not convinced that the Auto Magic Filter does better than the red filter software setting on the camera. But a big thanks to bfisher for getting me to use a red filter!!


Footnote: I did not do ANY editing of these videos, I try to be selective in what I shoot (doesn't always work) and then I simply paste the segments all together into one file. I look at the length of the video then find a song on my ipod that is about that length. Time on the computer creating the finished video is literally about 5 minutes.

Are those links correct? I'm being directed to a blank "playlists" page.

Sorry about that, something must have got screwed up when I pasted the link. Here is the complete message, duplicated, with corrected links.

why are you using the red filter topside???

why are you using the red filter topside???

If you see the red filter on topside shots, it is usually immediately before a dive, and I have placed the Auto Magic Filter inside the physical body of the housing and it is closed up and it is ready for the dive.

I'm on Gili Trawangan (Lombok, Indonesia) now, and I am going on a couple of dives tomorrow so we'll see what I can find!
